#17 Come, Thou Fount

Standard

(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)

This hymn is one of my lifetime favorites. I especially like the reference to Ebenezer — from I Samuel 7:12 — which many modern hymnals try to remove from the lyrics. As the Old Testament tells the Jews, we are to teach our children the stories, not compensate for them not knowing the stories.
